New Diagnosis, What Now – Care Matters Workshop – Online

Supporting someone who has recently received a diagnosis can bring a mix of emotions, questions, and uncertainty. This free Care Matters workshop creates a supportive space to connect with others, and explore what might help next.

Designed for family, whānau, and carers of children and adults with disabilities, the online workshop is led by facilitators with lived experience.

This online session is designed for those living in the South Island. Register for the North Island workshop here.

We will discuss what a new diagnosis can mean, with a focus on:

Funding
Exploring a diagnosis
Wellbeing
Who does what
Your rights
